Description

The Aquileia Archaeological Area - Roman Necropolis is a fascinating monument listed by UNESCO. Discover five family tombs from the 1st century AD, belonging to the Statia, Julia, Trebia and Cestia families, located along an ancient road.

The necropolis offers a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people of ancient Rome through impressive funerary monuments and sarcophagi. Some of the reliefs depict jugs used in funeral ceremonies, while others show dolphins around a trident, indicating that the deceased was a sailor or ship owner.

This is a great place for history and archaeology lovers, where the past comes alive among ancient stones.
